handlebar vibration '05 XL650

[khall]

I'm getting steady vibration through the bars at speed on the road. A few other guys that I have met with the same bike complained of the same problem. anyone find a solution ?
( other than better gloves)

Check out bar inserts from http://www.fasstco.com/index.html . You could also use a expanding insulation and fill the bars to decrease vibrations.

On my XL650 Supermoto I went to oversize ProTaper aluminum bars and it made a huge difference. To improve it further I filled the bars with spray on insulation foam. Did lots of comfortable high speed miles on that bike with that setup.

The solid tclamp mount can and will reduce the absorbtion factor of big bars.
Also, running bar weights will yeild less vibes.
